I woke up in the morning and got off my cloud bed, before I walked out of my room and into the small kitchen, seeing that Alpha wasn't awake yet, I decided to make pancakes like I usually did. I turned the oven on and got the batter and pan, putting the pan on the hot stove and then the batter, using a spatula to flip the pancakes onto plates when they were ready.

Once both plates were full with pancakes, I put each plate on my wings and walked over to the table, putting them onto the table and waiting for the smell of fresh pancakes to wake Alpha up.

“Do I smell pancakes?” I heard Alpha ask.

“Yep, just the way you like them.” I said smiling.

“That's thoughtful of you...” I heard Alpha say, before he came trotting into the kitchen. I sat down in one of the chairs, picked up a fork with my hoof and started to eat. I noticed that Alpha wasn't touching his food, so I looked at him confused.

“What’s wrong Alpha?” I asked worried.

“Eh... Just.... I don’t know anymore...” Alpha said looking at the food, poking it with his fork.

“The food isn't going to attack you.” I stated, starting to eat again.

“Eh.... Just.... Maybe?” Alpha said hesitantly, looking at his pancakes like their poisoned.

“Just eat” I said while eating.

“Come on Silver, don’t do this to me... This got to be some prank or something...” Alpha said.

“I thought I always cooked for you...you usually eat what I cook...” I said wondering if Alpha was sick or something.

“See, this is what I must have forgotten.” Alpha said shrugging.

“Then eat, then we have to go back and clean the rooms again, we only did Princess Celestia’s room I think.” I said, scratching my head, some memories still fuzzy.

“No, we aren’t really done with Celestia’s room.” Alpha said, looking at me.

“Then eat and we will go.” I said getting up from the table and putting the plate on the counter to clean later.

“You haven’t even hugged me.” Alpha said sadly. “I like hugs.”

I rolled my eyes, walked over to Alpha and hugged him. “Happy now?” I asked.

“A bit...” He said before shaking his head. “Oh well lets get going, you don’t need to know the other thing.”

“What other thing?” I asked, a little confused.

“Eh... It’s nothing.” Alpha said sheepishly waving a hoof in the air.

“Alright.” I said as I opened the front door and started to walk down the hallway.

“So, you feeling any better?” Alpha asked as he was walking behind me.

“What do you mean by better?” I asked “Do you mean rested?”

“No... I mean like, do you feel any better... Didn’t you hurt yourself yesterday?” Alpha asked.

“Oh ya, my head doesn't hurt anymore, I guess I hit my head or something.” I said starting to gallop to the royal chambers to make up for lost time.

“Wait up! I’m really lazy!” Alpha yelled from behind me, lazily running after me.

“We have to hurry if we want to do the rooms!” I yelled back to him as I reached the doors to the Princesses rooms.

                                                                                        ***Jay***

I lazily stumbled towards the doors, past Bridget and into the room, I collapsed on the floor.

“Uh.. I’m so tired.” I complained

“Alpha, you just woke up a couple minutes ago.” Bridget said as she walked in as well and started to pick up the papers again.

“I’m morning tired... Don’t complain.”

“Alright.” She said as she finished picking up the papers on the ground and flew over to the bookshelf with some books and started to put them back before seeing the hole in the bottom shelf.

“What happened there?” She asked

“You crashed...” I said looking at her, “Don’t you remember that?

“Not really...” she said putting the books back on the shelf and landing back on the ground

“I don't crash, I’m a good flier.”

“No.... You, crashed into that when I was watching...” I said tilting my head.

“Alright, I guess you would remember what happened Alpha.” She said taking the bedsheets in her mouth and pulling on them to make the bed.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“I don't remember much, you would remember more.” Bridget said

“I kinda made you... Um... Crash, by looking at your flank when you were flying.”

“That doesn't make sense...”

“You sure? Just try to think back...” I said.

“No I would rather not remember that, we have to get to work now Alpha.” She said

“Really? I mean come on! I kissed you that time!” I lied.

“Alpha please, lets just finish cleaning.” Bridget said exasperated.

“What’s with you all of a sudden?” I asked as I picked up some books, and put them up on the shelf

“Nothing, I just want to finish so we can get this over with.”

“You hate me don’t you...” I said quietly.

“I don't hate you, we have been friends since we were foals, I just want to get paid and finish cleaning so we can relax.” Bridget said, looking at me.

“Eh, fine.... If you say so.” I said perking up and started cleaning more quickly. I watched Bridget as she flew around the room, putting stuff back where they belonged where I couldn't reach while I cleaned as well, after a while we finished Celestia’s room and Bridget flew back to the ground.

“We have to do Princess Luna and Princess Twilight’s room now, which do you want to do first?”  Before I could answer her the door to Celestia’s room opened and Prince Blueblood walked in.

“I see you are done with one of the rooms, I suppose I should pay you for that, here you go.” Blueblood said as he used his magic to take a bag full of bits out from behind him and threw them at my hooves.

“Well okay then...” I said looking at the pouch before picking it up. I looked at it before jingling it and looking at Bridget. “All of a sudden I feel a thousand bits richer.”

“don't be so happy, that isn't an achievement.” Blueblood said snidely.

“You still have to finish the other princesses rooms.”

“Heh....” I snickered to myself. Before asking. “Where are those rooms then?”

“Right across from this room.” Blueblood said, rolling his eyes.

“Well, then, you could have said so from the beginning...” I said quietly.

“Goodbye.” Blueblood said as he walked briskly out of the room.

“Eh, okay...” I said, before looking at Bridget. “What now?”

“We go to Twilight’s room, and clean it.” She said as she walked out of Celestia’s room and into the hallway, looking at the two doors on the left wall, one is purple, the other dark blue.

I trotted over before leaning against her. “Ugh I’m tired...”

“You can sleep later, after we clean Princess Twilight’s room, ok?” Bridget asked

“But its... Tiring... Can’t I just rest now?” I asked Bridget.

“Stop being lazy.” Bridget said as she opened the door to Twilight’s room...to find that it is already spotlessly clean.

“Well... Less work for us!” I said happily.

“I guess Twilight, even as a Princess has her OCD about her room. I guess we can take a break now and finish up on Luna’s room later.” Bridget said as she started to fly back to our room.

“Right... And you just have to speed off without me.” I complained as I walked after her. After a few minutes of running after her, I got back to the room and went inside after her. She was lying on the couch, so I decided to go and get the magic book on amnesia again.

“More reading again! Yay!” I muttered to myself as I walked into my room, grabbed the book and walked back to the couch.

“Psst... Silver, you awake?” I asked.

“Yes.” She replied “I wasn't sleeping.”

“Hm.... Wanna cuddle?” I asked innocently.

“No, I thought you were tired.”  She said as she sat up on the couch, allowing me to sit on it as well.

“Oh come on, what wrong with two best friends cuddling... And yes I’m still tired...” I said as I sat down and opened the book.

“I don't know, why are you so interested in remembering something anyway? You haven't forgotten anything.” She reminded me.

“How do you know that?” I asked as I skimmed through a page.

“I don't know.” She confessed, getting off the couch and flying over to the balcony.

“I’m going to fly for a bit, be back in a bit.” she said as she flew out, leaving me alone.

“I hate when she does that...” I said shaking my head before reading something interesting. The interesting thing was, “Amnesia causes memory loss.”

My expression went from being pretty much bored, to laughing my ass off, in zero point seven seconds.

“No shit book... Tell me something I don't already know.” I said to myself through a chuckle. I continued reading. After a while of reading, it finally said how to cure amnesia, “You can cure amnesia by projecting his or hers lost memories in their head, causing them to remember what was forgotten.” I read, reading the instructions to the spell. Bridget flew threw the doorway a few minutes after I finished and just stayed in the air, hovering.

“Have a good read Alpha?” She asked

“Yeah... I mean, It said something about kissing a table.” I said as I recalled a few pages mentioning kissing a table.

“Thats a weird thing to have in a magic book.” She said confused.

“I know right... Now be still.” I said as I charged up my horn with magical energy and memories.

“Kind of hard to be still while flying, but ok. Whenever you learn a new spell you always have to try it on me.” She said, trying to be still as possible while flying. After a few seconds a beam shot towards her and a bright orange flash hit her.
